Stomp in Malaysia

UPDATE

Got the tixs! Damn happy...... hopefully its not disappointing show.

They are coming!! Stomp will be performing in Istana Budaya in Septemeber for 13 days... so its a must to go... Cant wait!

Feeling cold

Been sick since Monday... got fever n cold. Doc said its just a flu.. but still feeling damn cold. Feel like working in a freezer at client's office!!

Am kinda sick of SAP now. Esp with all the jargons and the SAP concept. Why cant ppl invent applications with simple human understandable concept? I'm using my brain cell too hard until it feels like its gonna blow up!

Ok, i need more rest... but i've just gotten a MC on Tues..... maybe a permanent rest.. stop working perhaps.. but who's gonna feed me? I dont think my parents wld be too keen on that idea. Although indirectly I am still being taken care of by my parents since I still stay with them.

Got the new Wang Lee Hom album from my colleague today. Its gonna be on my playlist for a while. Not too sure why lately I've been listening to alot of chinese songs.. no, I dont think its due to the Mandarin classes I've been taking. Somehow it seems like chinese songs are more catchy and is easier on the ear. One of the latest famous song is "Lao Shu Ai Da Mi" .. translated to english its "Rat Love Rice"... hahahaha funny title rite? But its like the most famous song in China n M'sia now.

Dav created a new website for me (www.steph.davidseow.com). Go have a look at it. Bear in mind I was not the author of the website as it was created when I was sick, thus the sentences there....

Took a drive in the middle of the nite to Putrajaya.. wanted to take some pics. Here's one of them.. Dav thinks that the rest is not good enough to be posted...

Check out the new look.. hahaha nothing much new except the background colour, which is BLUE now!

Exams over!!

yes, exams ended 2 wks ago and I'm only updating the blog now.. this is pure laziness. I think there is always a cycle where u have to go through when u encounter new things and then after a while the cycle will ends with you not achieving anything in the long term. For example:

1. Join a gym and go every other day to once a week to once every fortnight to totally stop your membership, or

2. Start a new weekly hobby (e.g. hiking) and stick to it until one day you got other things to do and then it totally stopped!, or

3.Blogging everyday becomes everyweek becomes everymonth then finally stop blogging...

hmm.. I've gone through the first two cycles above.. hopefully I wont go through it for the third example.. heheheh

Anyway been learning alot of chinese words like
你好吗?
我很好.
今天你忙吗?

ahh.. not bad rite... everyweek we got test one ok... i think i'll have to practice every other day in order to remember them forever.. its so easy to recognise a word. But when I wan to write them out it takes so long for me to remember how to write them...

Got more words to remember this week.. my teacher said got essay exam after the 5th lesson.. so EXCITING! hahahahaha

Finally, tomorrow is exam day!

So I am pattiently waiting for the hour when the exam actually starts... quite ridicous actually but I just cant take it anymore... its time to just dish it all out!! I mean for the exam of course.

When I was home supposely to 'study' I did some thinking and internet surfing and started asking myself some of the things that I've come across:

1. Why do best/good friends complains and bitch abt each other to other ppl? arent good friends suppose to have a wonderful friendship minus the bitchiness and dissatisfaction abt each other's weaknesses? this always gets to me. I always thought that good friends will accept each other for who they are and especially how they behave/react to everything.
2. Why stubborn ppl do not listen to other ppl's opinion/suggestions? I have to admin I can very stubborn when I am in the 'mood'. Sometimes cos I think I'm right.. other times just for the sake of not giving in to other ppl (ie EGO)
3. Why ppl love porn so much?? Esp those who likes to share them on the internet... I've come across a blog whereby this couple shares their sexual experiences from their fetish with women panties to S&M. Also recently (more like 2 days ago) this S'porean girl just posted a nude picture of herself on her blog and share more of her sexual encounters on her blog.
4. Why the sudden craze with blogging? Until there's a Blogging Convention in Singapore (which will be held on 16 July 2005 in Woodlands). What will ppl get out of attending this convention?? sigh.... Besides that, bloggers are so famous until they get interviewed by the media!@!@!

That is all I can think of at the moment. Need to do last minute preparation for tomorrow. Drop me a line if u have the answers to the above.

Competition is healthy for your sperm

Stumbled upon this article about how men can improve on their sperms performance when their in competition.

The volunteers had previously abstained from sexual activity for two to six
days. In samples from men who viewed the images containing the two men and a
woman - the “sperm-competition” images - 52% of the sperm were motile. This
compared with 49% sperm motility in the men who viewed the images of women only
– a difference that was statistically significant after taking into account
lifestyle factors such as cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption... more

Did a define:search on googles on what 'motile' means - "capable of self-propelled movement. A term that is sometimes used to distinguish between certain types of organisms found in water." I'm imagining small little albino tadpoles fitted with propeller hanging around, waiting for the green light. Hmmm...

Homosexual Activity Among Animals Stirs Debate

Found this article in National Geographic website. Imagine even animals hv the same behaviour as human.. so I would like to know is why is homosexuality such a 'BAD' thing?? I mean come on.. even the animals have the same preferences.

I believe its just a preference/ a choice.. and I dont see anything wrong with it. Everyone is entitle to choose the path they want to take in life.. and this includes sexual preferences. I truly do not agree and do not understand ppl who cant accept homosexuality esp those who are 'afraid' thus become violent abt the whole subject.

People tend to become 'scare' with the things they do not understand and I think the best way to curb this is to be calm and understand the it better before setting ur mind to 'HATE' them and their behaviour.

Lets make this place a better place to live and live in harmony!

CISA Exam

I am so damn BORED with studying already!!!! I mean, its always good to gain more knowledge... its so damn boring!
Ok. I know I shouldnt be complaining esp when I have been given 2 wks off from work to do revision since the exam is only 5 days away! But I cant seem to waste more time doing other things.. for example, check emails, sleep, watch tv/dvd, surf the net, blogging, check out new ipod gadgets, etc, etc, etc... the list just goes on and on and on...

To make the full use of my study break.. I went out n bought 2 new novels .. muahahahahahah so bad man..... There are:

1. Dan Brown - The Da Vinci Code
2. Terry Pratchett - Pyramids

Ppl with good studying method is most welcome to share it with me....

RSS

Recently I have just discovered a new technology which I find quite cool.. its called Really Simple Syndication (RSS). RSS is a popular technology employed by websites and weblogs to push headlines and summaries of content directly to users (Definition from The Star Newspaper website). How it works? Brief description according to my interpretation:

From a reader point of view

1. Select a RSS reader. There is a few in the market. Currently I am using Feedreader. This is a software installed in your machine which help you receive the feed daily. There is also an online version called NewsGator. Instead of installing a software, you can use this online version.
2. Next browse through websites which has the RSS symbol. This indicates that you can subscribe to the website's rss feed.
3. Right click on the RSS symbol and copy shortcut.
4. Add the shortcut into your RSS reader (i.e. Add new Feed)
5. Enjoy reading latest updates to the website you have just added!

As I have just discovered this new technology.. I have only managed to understand how to add new feed. Have not read up on how to create one. Will keep you guys updated on that one.. its abit technical for my standard. hehehehe

Ohh.. you can get RSS feed from this blog. Just add this link to your RSS reader and VIOLA! you will be alerted on the new updates on this blog. I have also attached the link on the left bar.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO MY PARTNER (DS) FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT!! (P/S: Happy Now? hehehehe)
